February the 15th is very special to me, because three years ago I saw the lovely Sya for the first time after a long 15 years away. Finding her has changed everything in my life and given me the greatest sense of completeness and wholeness I have ever experienced. So for that day we usually plan something special, and time and day the 15th falls on help us pick what we do. We needed something basic for a Wednesday night which is a work night. So I went to the local newspaper's website Mlive.com. When doing a search in their entertainment section ( forgive the IE usage, their site does not work by web standards aka Firefox heh) and at this page I found the following:
So I thought to myself, “Sweet!, a local play and a cool one!”, so I asked Sya, and she was into the idea so I pulled up Buckham Alley's website and even though it said nothing about it on the front page:
I figured it was a outdated and clicked on calendar to see:
So I called the 238 ARTS number on their website this morning, and ordered tickets to this production with my VISA, and verified that I could get the tickets at the door, the person on the phone told me that I could with no problem. So my wife and I go to dinner, we had the worst waitress in a long while and the first outside of Ruby Tuesday's to do as poorly. She managed to blow the entire meal timing, cold food etc, and she never arrived with a desert that we paid for but lacking time for the play, we just moved on.
We drive downtown to the Theatre ( their anglophile spelling, not mine) and go in to the ticket area and no one is there. We can hear people rehearsing, and we start to wonder what the deal is, a little boy comes out into the lobby area and wanders in and brings back an adult who lets us know they are rehearsing for “To Kill a Mockingbird” and they are not doing “Twelve Angry Men” at all.
So a nice little night is shot by a local paper's poorly checked information, and a moron who charged my card for something that was not even being shown. You can BET I will be visiting them to fix this issue tomorrow. Based on this I would recommend a cash and carry and no preorder plan for the work touched by the Flint Area Arts Council.
But even though the plans are blown, I still came home with the most wonderful woman in the world.
